products – Echelon SL
The Echelon SL is an all-conditions performer, ideally suited for racing and training. Featuring a 31mm deep aero rim profile, bladed spokes and internal nipples, the Echelon SL is not just an everyday wheel - it's a race day wheel too. It's the wheel you need when you want wheels that feel surprisingly fast for the price. Built on the technology of the Vigor and its carbon cousins, the Echelon SL is stiff, strong and aero. So whether it's a training ride, triathlon, time trial or road race, the Echelon SL is a great "do everything" option.

Rims: The Echelon SL rim is designed for the rigors of everyday use. The 31mm tall deep-section, single cavity, alloy rim offers excellent lateral and torsional stiffness with additional toughness. The brake sidewalls are CNC-machined for smooth, consistent braking performance. Built for everyday - including race day.


Hubs: The Echelon SL's are built around the ST2.2 proprietary hub with CNC machined flanges to remove excess weight. The front hub has a wide flange placement which increases the lateral wheel stiffness. The rear hub features our Patented Differential Flange Diameter, which effectively doubles the number of pulling spokes and creates a more durable wheel. Black, CNC machined hub shells with oversized alloy axles and sealed cartridge bearings provide high strength, stiffness and light weight performance.


Freehubs: The forged aluminum freehub body has 3 independently driven hardened steel pawls. The system is strong, simple and dependable.


Spoke & Nipple: The Echelon SL wheel set features paired, 14/15 gauge custom butted and bladed spokes with internal alloy nipples to create a quicker accelerating, faster climbing wheel with superior, long-term durability. Self-locking thread technology ensures wheels stay true longer. Our Patented, Jacketed Nipple Design™ reduces spoke bending loads and wind drag, increasing spoke life and contributing to a more durable, stiff and aerodynamic wheel system.


Extras: Extras: Rolf Prima Echelon SL wheel systems include custom reinforced rim tape and steel quick release skewers.
